So, since at least two of the books we're reading in the book klubs are series books, what are we going to do next?
I mean, now that we're all hooked on Jamie, are we just going to leave him behind? Or are we going to go on with the Outlander series later?
Because I have a real feeling that we're all going to be hooked on Eric after Dead Until Dark too. And vampires can be extremely persuasive.
Any suggestions? Other comments? Is that a rabbit over there?

Gertie has already said she might be good for a few more of the Outlander series. Dead Until Dark started because of inquiries about the current book in the series, and I suggested we might want to start at the beginning, so my intent always was for DUD  to be the Southern Vamp Book Klub or eventually the Vampire Lit Book Klub. Doesn't mean that you have to keep leading it Robin, although you're welcome to continue as long as you want. Or until there's an uprising. Betsy |

I had hoped to continue leading it, but perhaps I'll reconsider from where I'll lead it. "Georgia" seems like too much of an undefendable space, so maybe I'll see if I can locate a secret bunker, and lead the series from there. |

Sherman certainly found it so. Cheney is done with his bunker, perhaps you could use that? |

I'll loan you my fidelius charm handbook. You can trust me to be your secret keeper.  Yes, Betsy, I'll do Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager for the Outlander Klub, as long as the members want to continue. Then I'll pass on the baton. |

We have real reason to think that Cheney's bunker is in Georgia, and it's weird b/c I lately had exactly the same conversation on another, apparently unrelated board. Hmmmm. Have the spies already found me? That's not good. Thanks Gertie, you're going to be a lifesaver! I'll keep doing the Southern Vampire mysteries until there's no more audience or until the Eric comments get out of hand. |

One of his earlier bunkers is about 60 miles outside Wash DC; some friends of mine lived next door to it and had to be interviewed by government people. I think that one was eventually abandoned as too many people knew of it. Maybe he moved to GA after that. Betsy |

It's really adding a lot of enjoyment to my first time reading this book. |

Yes, there are six books so far with two more to come. The next one will be issued in the Fall. It's a good thing it's on Kindle. The weight of the last three books is enough to qualify as a workout. Oh, yes, Gertie, that would be wonderful if you would do Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Thanks so much for all you have done for Outlander. You are doing a wonderful job. It's really adding a lot of enjoyment to my first time reading this book. Awww, that's so nice. I'm just glad that y'all are enjoying the book and having a good time. Not to mention that this Klub is giving me an excuse to read the book again. |

I am all for continuing both series. Of course, I haven't started DUD yet, but it sounds like I'm going to get hooked in no time.  And of course, I love series. |

I am definitely up for continuing with Jamie and Claire. Yes, I have read the series, but I am enjoying Outlander so much, I have to keep going.

Yes - Please keep going with both series! I never seem to be in the right spot of either Outlander or the Southern Vampire series to jump into the discussions, but I am hooked on both and love reading the questions and everyone's interpretations. At some point I'll be in the right spot to jump into a discussion. I never would have known of either author/series if it hadn't been for these boards.

As long as you're reading and enjoying, that's all that matters. We'll be starting Dragonfly in Amber in two weeks. |

I have a question regarding the book klub(s)... I read the synopsis of Outlander and see that this is the kind of book I usually love to read so would very much like to join the book club for the series as soon as I get my Kindle (due in Feb 25th!) Is it okay for me to play catch up and join in the group or do I just need to wait till the next book gets started? I know I'll devour it once I get my Kindle, I completely stopped buying books once I ordered it and am going through reading withdrawls. Also, should I wait to purchase the books from the links to Amazon from the website, so that Kindleboards gets a cut of that money like some of the other items I've seen? I plan get the entire series, especially if we will be doing a Klub for them, but will wait and get them through Kindleboards if that's the case! Thanks  |

The Klubs are very informal. . . jump in and out as you read. . . some are keeping right up, some have gone way ahead, and some (me!) have gotten behind. (In my defense I started working AND I'm trying to keep up with all 4 ongoing Klubs -- clearly failing miserably, but having fun!). But, if you don't want spoilers, I wouldn't suggest reading the discussion threads ahead of having read that section. . . .
